    what's your objection? have you heard the parody? do you know that he didn't originate the phrase, or write or perform the parody?

    i'd also venture a guess that your signature quote attributed to him was taken out of context, and was originally the use of absurdity to illustrate absurdity

    I posted the parody, so I'm guessing I listened to it. Duh. Did you read or listen to the link? It is very clear that Limbaugh didnt write or perform it. Does playing it and laughing about it make it alright? Get your mouth off of Limbaugh's cock already.

    yeah, i read the link, but it was just a short blog entry....didn't catch the parody there.

    get my mouth off limbaugh's cock? very tolerant and progressive of you. i was asking you some questions. i guess your objection is that he played it and laughed about it? seriously...it's absurdity to illustrate absurdity. it's used to make a point. why is it ok for the liberal la times guy to say it (and actually be applying it to obama), but not for someone else to parody it?

    No, I'm not tolerant towards defenders of that jackass. I never said it was Ok for the LA Times writer to say that and if you do a search that was covered in a thread on here when it happened. So to answer your question -- hell no it is not alright for Rush to use it as an excuse to supposedly fight the absurdity as you call it.

    Yet Another Liberal Asks if Barack Obama is Black Enough.....

    RUSH: Speaking of the news, it's happened again here. It's happened again, this time in UK Times. Not in the Los Angeles Times. Not in the Chicago Tribune. This time it's in the UK Times. The headline here, and it's from today: "The Great Black and White Hope." Who do you think this is about? It's about Barack Obama. Here's the subhead: "Barack Obama is young, gifted and mixed-race. But can he really break the mould [sic] of racial politics? It's by a guy named Tom Baldwin.

    "Barack Obama is young, gifted and mixed-race. But can he really break the mould of racial politics? -- To understand all the fuss that surrounds Barack Obama, go back to the 2004 Democratic Convention where wooden John Kerry, with his grey hair and stiff salute, was 'reporting for duty' as the party's presidential nominee. They had picked what is known as a 'resumé candidate' whose record in Vietnam and the Senate would, they thought, give them a chance of beating President Bush. Then along came the skinny figure of Obama with his jazz-cool looks, exotic name and caramel skin. Though virtually unknown -- not yet even elected to the Senate -- his speech was, by all accounts, one of the best anyone had heard in years.

    "As good as Bill Clinton, they said, but fresher. ... These days he adopts a calmer, more discursive, tone in most of his speeches and though the applause at the end is warm, it is sometimes shorter than it was when he entered the hall. So why does this electrifying speaker feel the need to insulate his audience from the full force of his power? Obama said recently that while 'I can gin up folks pretty well', that is not his objective right now. ... An aide later told The Times that 'everyone knows he can do a great speech', before adding, with a knowing look, that 'so could Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton'. The implication is that these black candidates for president never made it to the White House because they were seen as overemotional politicians who played into America's deeply embedded stereotypes. Obama, by contrast, appeals to whites because he is 'exciting', not 'excitable'. … The US is, nonetheless, still a country obsessed by race."

    I don't think that's true. I think elements of our country are obsessed by race, such as the media -- and this guy in the UK, in their media, is obsessed by race -- but I don't think "the country" is. The evidence just isn't there. "Though polls suggest that Obama is doing well among African-Americans, some still suggest that he is 'not black enough' because his ancestors don't include those who experienced the pain of slavery and segregation." In other words, he's not down for the struggle. He doesn't have roots to that which defines a genuine civil rights activist and African-American in this country. He's not authentic. This is the fourth time. I keep being hit over the head for being a racist talking about Obama, when all I'm doing is regurgitating to you people what is appearing about him in white media: the LA Times and the UK Times. This is the fourth piece now on, "Is Obama down for the struggle? He's not authentic. Is he black enough?" I have never asked the question, other than to repeat it from the mouths of those who are.

    Hehehe. Believing "most voters" listen to Rush is borderline delusional. As for Rhodes, ----> http://www.watchmojo.com/music/rock/images/axe_randy_rhoads.JPG

    what an evolved media world we have become. today, "all in the family" would never, ever, ever see the light of day. it broke ground. richard pryor. sidney poitier. george and weezy jefferson. these people broke ground. they advanced common thought through expression of opinion, even if only metaphorically. archie bunker said things on tv that would get him taken off the air after 5 minutes today. think of all the sociological introspection we would have missed...

    yeah, because rush's main goal is to foster an openminded and frank debate on race relations and expression of opinion. right.

    I grew up with Archie and George and Florida. And yes, ain't it a shame that no mainstream show on mainstream American television will ever be that true and honest -- and FUN -- again. That's why I don't watch sitcoms anymore.

    I stopped listening to Rush many, many years ago. I don't watch Bill O'Reilly either. I skip over Fox News like it's the plague. That's why I don't watch Republican news channels anymore.

    I get my news from the internet. I make the rounds of all the headlines and then sink further into each story, from every source I can get my hands on. I read Huffington, I read the Jewish news, I read the black news, I read the Christian news....and then I make up my mind.

    I know that Barack Obama is not "black enough" for the mainstream news. I also know that he is African American in every sense of those two words.

    I know where my information is coming from.......do you?

    I'll try to find the link...but this paraody, which has been going on for months now, has had some of the funniest fat jokes i've ever heard...The Rev. Al is camped outside Osama Obama's HQ, and is making fun of his mom...some of the good ones:

    Your mamma so fat...that when she cuts her leg, she bleeds gravy
    Your mamma so fat...that on a scale of 1 to 10, she's a 747
    Your mamma so fat, that she takes aspirin with mayonaise
    Your mamma so fat, that she has Euros in one pocket, and Pesos in the other
    Your mamma so fat, she don't have belly button lint, she has belly button sheep
    Your mamma so fat, when she was missing, she took all four sides of the milk carton


    i'm sure i'll add more when I think of them

    heads up...NBC is going to do a piece on "Barak the magic negro"

    we can only hope that they illustrate teh point that Rush's parody mocks the left and their racism.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Til_Death_Us_Do_Part

    "The series was remade in the United States as the enormously successful sitcom All in the Family (1971–79), in Germany (1973–76) as Ein Herz und eine Seele ("One Heart and One Soul") and in Hong Kong (1994–96) as Sei Hoi Yut Gar ("All in a Family")."

    Archie Bunker was lifted from the character of Alf Garnett, played by Warren Mitchell:
